Listening to the music of my earlier raging years

I have almost lived here three months. Seems crazy. What have I done? -moved out of home, into a flat with complete strangers, to a city completely foreign and unknown to me. =D -went to my first Northern Easter Camp. -A+'d my first paper. -settled into Roskill Baptist. -went to 'town'. Almost got hit by a couple of cars. -sat in a few cosy bars with a nice drink and a good friend. -cried over homelessness. -got free furniture off the side of the road. -spent a lot of money on postcards xD -been a photography model a wee bit for arty friends. -Handsewed my first hem without a pro sewer watching over me! -sat in Mt. Eden crater as the rain fell, with Elysia. -read poetry at the Aotea Centre, to a weird audience. -ferried to Devonport. -bussed a lot. -drunk a bit of tea. -received money when I needed it, anonymously, radically. -I now have a chiropractor. -Got rid of my bed. Now sleep on the floor on a mattress. -LEARNT TO COOK!! -been dumpster diving. -acquired a lot of folk music. -worked at Women's Refuges etc :) -been to the Auckland markets. -Had some epic Skype conversations with some new good friends -READ On the Road, The Little Prince, Man Alone.. and others, I think. -went to a party with a completely purple painted face. -spooned. -been freaked out at crazy Auckland stuff.. now I realise I find it so normal. -watched New Moon and almost died bleerrgggh -sat on a beach/bay late at night and toasted marshmallows over a fire -been to Bethells and Muriwai Beach -decided what I'm doing next year - Wellington -won a large scholarship, randomly. -realised I don't like talking as much as I thought. -realised so much about how my upbringing has shaped me -realised its not bad to have money -realised its not bad to have ambitions -realised I am content -realised I am whole so I can help others -realised writing is in every cell of my being -realised God is hard to understand, but that's okay
